The multi award-winning Leicestershire-based Vegan Cakery has generously donated a large cake (20-24 slices and similar to the one in the photo) to the winner of a competition to organise a vegan cake and coffee morning at their workplace during the Vegan Festival of Britain. (Or, alternatively, it can be a coffee morning organised in a local church/village hall, or a club or library).

We are sorry to have to limit entries to within 100 miles of Leicester. This is because the cake will be hand-delivered by The Vegan Cakery to ensure that it is suitable for photography.

Anybody who has had the good fortune to discover The Vegan Cakery will know what a treat the winners are in for. Founder Michelle Orme has created award-winning cruelty-free alternatives to many products that are not normally available to vegans, such as Battenberg, fancy doughnuts and mille-feuille. You can discover the full range of more than 170 different products on The Vegan Cakery website.

The rules of entry are as follows:
1. Entrants must be willing to allow Animal Aid to publicise the winner and the winning business/school/club etc. (In other words, if you are an employee, you must have the support of your employer and colleagues.)

2. Entrants should, if at all possible, be willing to allow us to invite a local reporter and photographer to the event.

3. Entrants must agree to supply photographs of the cake and a short written report on the event for Animal Aid to use in promotional material.

4. Delivery address must be within 100 miles of Leicester.

5. The winner will be selected by Animal Aid, whose decision is final.

People all over the country are beginning to understand how becoming vegan can benefit themselves and the planet. We who care about the food we eat and the animals we live amongst have watched how over the years our compassionate approach to living has come from the margins to the centre. Animal Aid has been at the forefront of this movement for forty years, so the time is right for us to mark their progress and our future with a grand, nationwide festival. I believe the time is right for a real celebration of life. The time is right for The Vegan Festival of Britain.

Huge congratulations to Animal Aid on their 40th Anniversary. The Vegan Festival of Britain sounds like the perfect way to celebrate and we would love to support it. Keep up all the great work.

Adrian Ling, Managing Director, Plamil

Animal Aid have always had a unique, passionate and successful approach, so it comes as no surprise that The Vegan Festival of Britain is a new and exciting idea we can all get involved in. Often the biggest impact that individuals can have on reducing animal suffering is by using the commercial power they have in their own pocket when making a purchase. Purchasing Vegan is one of the most powerful contributions that can be made and the festival a wonderful way to promote Vegan.

Wills Vegan Shoes

Where do I begin with Animal Aid? From helping Wills Vegan Shoes before we even launched to being a source of inspiration and support when I turned vegan – to the crucial work you do everyday in the name of animal equality. Much love.

Time to raise a cupckake, or two, to such an important organization on its 40th anniversary. What they have achieved for animals is extraordinary. We should all be very honoured and proud to have a team like Animal Aid fighting important campaigns and causes.
